In order to understand the nature of disease and epidemics, it is essential to analyze how host, agent, and environment intersect. The approach needed for this task is ecological analysis, which is the same approach taken by Nikiforuk (1995) in his book. Nikoforuk's theme is the purpose of epidemiology as the study of health and illness among individuals and populations for the sake of public health and preventive medicine. Risk factors and the determinants of health must be taken into account because of the interaction between host, agent, and the environment.
